Climbing Ben Nevis 'saved my life'

A man who climbed the UK's highest mountain every day for a month has told 5 live Breakfast how it helped improve his mental health.

Andy Cole decided to climb Ben Nevis after his doctor, who was treating Andy for depression, told him to do more outdoor activity.

Speaking to 5 live's Colin Paterson, Andy said: "The natural endorphins started to release, the medication intake was lowered - I've gained so much out of the natural outdoors."
